>never let go of hope.

>my tattoo i got on saturday 🙂i love it. it didn’t hurt at all either, surprisingly!

im finally feeling like myself today. i have been sick with a terrible head cold for the past 4 days. so that equaled lots of soup, vitamin c, sleep, and no exercise. i rested instead.

but i decided to crank it up a notch today and go back to my usual mondays with 3.5 hours in the gym. t-n-t, power yoga, 20 min treadmill, bodyattack. i think my physical activity today kicked my cold’s butt.

my eats:i decided to change up my oats a little bit this morning and had overnight oats! last night i put these together using a recipe from the edible perspective.

1/3c plain SF greek yogurt (i ran out of greek so i just used nonfat plain)

1/3c unswt. vanilla almond milk

1 small bananer

1/2t cinnamon

few shakes of nutmeg + ginger

vanilla extract splash

i added 1/2 scoop of chia seeds as well

i also added 2 organic figs

i put the dry ingredients together firstthese figs were only 75 cents @ walmart the day i got them!i added in the milk, yogurt, banana, and cut up figsand mashed it all up togetherput it in the fridge overnight in a bowl covered with saran wrap.this morning i added more cinnamon, sugar free maple syrup, & 1 tbsp of chopped walnutscold oats are definitely not as delicious as hot oats…but i still liked them =)

for lunch today i decided to eat swiss chard. i’ve never had swiss chard and it looks so pretty.i found a recipe that used eggs and after working out for 3.5 hours, i needed some protein.

Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Saute onions until tender, and then add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute. Add chard stems and let cook until tender (about 5 min). Then stir in chard leaves, cover skillet, and let cook until chard is wilted (about 3 min). While chard is cooking, whisk together eggs, turmeric, and salt and pepper. Pour eggs into the skillet and stir with the chard until eggs are cooked (about 4 min). Serves 2-3.

i cut everything in half to make it serve only one! except i did end up using a bunch of chard… i needed to get rid of it. and lettuce doesn’t have many calories 🙂

first saute your onionsmake sure to chop your swiss chard stems & leaves separatelyadd garlic and red pepper to your onionsadd stems & cook until tender then add leaves. cover & cook until leaves are wiltedmix eggs, turmeric, salt & pepperadd to the skilletand enjoy the foodgasm. i added some hot sauce on mine to help clear out my senses. hahwith some cottage cheese too. just to get rid of it!well….off to studying now. joy.

Such a great tat. My husband just dumped me recently out of the blue… I’m looking for inspiration to get a “If you love something let it go” theme ink. I like your “never let go of hope” and the dandelion to birds, so awesome! What made you think to do it? I won’t copy you but it made me smile to see it. Rock on.
